OTIS REDDING, 25, a onetime Georgia well driller, made his first recording in 1962, has since successfully toured England and France and drew frenzied applause from an audience of 7,000 at this spring's Monterey Pop Festival. On King & Queen (Stax), he shares the throne with Carla Thomas. With rich growls and husky shouts Otis mixes jokes and blues, first down tempo, then up tempo, almost missing the beat and then catching it at precisely the right fraction of a second...
...many parts of the world, gambling is legalized and largely free of criminal elements. State-run lotteries, which support everything from opera to cancer research, exist in 84 countries. While there have been fears recently that U.S. mobsters have infiltrated some of the thriving casinos in London, most of England's 1,000 licensed gaming houses are fairly clean operations where, as one director says, "Dad and the family can have a bit of a flutter for a fiver." In short, it seems better to establish some forms of government-controlled gambling and try to stave off the racketeers...
...face of it, Goody's claim seemed absurd. But not in quirky old England. There, as in some American jurisdictions, a criminal conviction does not constitute proof of guilt in a civil case growing out of the same offense. And British courts allowed a special twist in 1964, when Convicted Safecracker Alfie Hinds realized that the one- court-does-not-recognize-what-the-other-is-doing theory could also be applied to libel cases.

Records & Recollections. How can a centenarian prove his age? In most cases the only evidence is his own word. Though some Western European countries began keeping good birth records in the 18th century, the U.S. was slow to follow. Massachusetts began in 1841, followed by other New England states. Significantly, there are no reports of incredibly advanced age from areas that keep good birth records. Dr. Belle Boone Beard, a University of Georgia anthropologist, lists 28 ways of proving age. They vary in reliability from college-entrance or graduation records to marriage, insurance and naturalization records. For former slaves like...
...Family Way. In England's North Country, a young couple spend their wedding night at his parents' place. The boy (Hywel Bennett) has a skin even thinner than the walls of the bedroom, and as his loutmouthed father (John Mills) fusses with a chamber pot next door, he finds himself unable to consummate the marriage. When their honeymoon plans fall through, the couple stay on in the house, and Bennett remains incapacitated. "One doesn't miss what one's never had," the bride (Hayley Mills) assures him. But a month later, she miserably confides her troubles...
